CHELSEA assistant coach Rui Faria has been hit with a SIX match stadium ban and fined £30,000 by the FA following the outcome of a hearing.

Faria angrily confronted Mike Dean after he was left incensed by a decision during the 2-1 defeat against Sunderland last month at Stamford Bridge.

He was sent to the stands after an altercation and had to be restrained by Jose Mourinho.

Faria requested a non-personal hearing and the FA have released a statement confirming the sanction they have imposed.

It read: "Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today, Chelsea’s Rui Faria has been given a six-match stadium ban with immediate effect, subject to any appeal, after he admitted two breaches of FA Rules.
